Conti to raise truck tire prices March 1

FORT MILL, S.C. (Feb. 10, 2017) — Continental Tire the Americas L.L.C. plans to raise prices March 1 in the U.S. and Canada on its Continental-, General-, and AmeriSteel-brand truck tires by up to 8 percent.

This increase, which could involve "other necessary adjustments between marketing lines and sizes," is in response to the continued escalation of raw materials, energy and logistics costs associated with the production and distribution of radial truck tires, Conti said.

Conti is the 12th U.S.-based tire maker or importer/distributor to announce a price increase since the start of 2017.
